Woodville (New Zealand electorate)

Woodville was a parliamentary electorate in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand from 1887 to 1890.

In the 1887 electoral redistribution, although the Representation Commission was required through the Representation Act 1887 to maintain existing electorates "as far as possible", rapid population growth in the North Island required the transfer of three seats from the South Island to the north.

The localities of Ormondville, Dannevirke, and Norsewood were in the northern part of the electorate.
